1997 Saturn SC -2 review from North America
"Great first car for a college student"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
High rate of oil consumption.
Battery died, but it was the factory installed battery.
Grinding noise in the brakes that has still not been identified, though Carmax did replace the brake pads and rotors at no cost because it was within the first 30 days after I bought the car.
General comments?
Overall I am impressed with the car. It has the normal problems you would expect from any used car.
Suspension makes you feel every bump in the road.
Doesn't block road noise well.
